Friday January 13th

I love the "original" part of the Dayton music scene, and nothing signifies that more than when one of our own releases new music. On Friday night, celebrate with Abertooth Lincoln as they release their new EP "Selling the Urban Ideal." Dayton alternative faves My Latex Brain and Grand Mammoth are kicking off the night. Very rock'n'roll! 9pm. $5 cover. 21+

Nashville's Erica Blinn and the Handsome Machine come back to the Trolley Stop on Friday evening. Her country-rock has been highly praised. Check out what the hype is all about! 9:30pm. $5 cover. 21+

Celebrate Elvis's birthday with a special show at Gilly's Jazz featuring award winning tribute artist Ryan Roth and the Comeback Special Band. They are paying homage to the famous Aloha and Madison Square Gardens shows. That's right! Both shows all in one night! Performances are at 7pm and 9pm. Tickets are $15 each, or $25 for both shows. Call 937-266-2842 for ticket information.

Outside the immediate Dayton area, there are lots of great shows too! Rock and jam fans, check out up-and-coming

at

in Fairborn. They are joined by Founding Fathers, Gin Soaked Angels, Willy Clark Band, and The Key Concepts for a night of dancing grooves and great vibes! No cover

Out in Yellow Springs, there is a great night of music in store, including Rachel Litteral & the Abstracts from 7-10pm at Emporium Wine & Underdog Cafe. Enjoy wine tasting, live music and dancing, and no cover charge. Then wheel over to see Kyleen Downes at Peach's. Music starts at 10pm with Topher James, followed by Kyleen at 11pm. No cover again! Nice reason to head out to the Springs!

Worthy got in touch with me to share in his enthusiasm for this show: "I am super excited to bring the One-On-One tour to Dayton this weekend.  It will be my first time playing in Dayton and I have heard nothing but great things from other artists who have come through to play in the past. Judging from the reaction so far to this lineup, I'm convinced the night is going to get a little crazy! The Stanton Warriors are some of my favorite guys to play with and we have always created a bit of a frenzy on the dance floor. I love their unique sound and the way they hype the crowd, so I know this will be a memorable show and one of the stops on the tour I have been anticipating the most. Absolutely looking forward to crushing it!"

Metal fans will be out in full force for the Machinae Supremacy U.S. Tour at Rockstar Pro Arena. Joining them are URIZEN, Danimal Cannon Knight of the Round, and local bands Others by No One and Siegelord. Presales: $13. NO Free Re-Entry or Outside Food or Drinks. 

In the Oregon District, there is a fantastic night of live music at Blind Bob's with Swimming With Sharks, NOVAGOLD, Move Home, and Hot Zombie. 9pm. $5 cover. 21+ Another great option is checking out Cincinnati's Matthew Wheatley at South Park Tavern. Both of these shows are really solid. Enjoy!
